How to heal fully and properly.
Anger vs Peace
When asked, most people would agree that they would prefer to feel peace over anger. However, if we were to look at anger in more depth, we would realise that people experience this emotion in very different ways. Anger is usually a reaction to how an individual would respond to a situation or life event, and many people may not realise that they are carrying anger around with them in their day to day lives. When we compare this to peace, peace is the epitome of forgiveness. We can not find peace within ourselves until we can learn to forgive other people for their actions.

Self Isn't a Selfish Word
There are so many of us in this world who have hearts of gold. Hearts too gentle, too kind, and too caring for too many of the people in this world. Hearts that will get hurt and hardened by people who they never deserved to know. Hearts that never deserved everything that they had to experience, go through. Hearts that only ever want to see and think the best of people and their intentions.

The Stories We Tell Ourselves
Imagine if we aren’t really the stories we tell ourselves? That’s what I thought to myself last night, before I fell asleep. It was a heavier day than normal and something had triggered me, which arose a series of emotions. I could feel my walls rising as a shield myself to protect my soul and the pain transformed to anger. I’ve been here before; I know how the story goes—at least that’s what I told myself.

Being a Victim to a TBI
At the age of 15 I was involved in a car accident that almost ended my life. I was in the passenger seat of my sister's vehicle when, while we were stopped waiting for the people in front of us to turn, we were rear-ended by another driver going 50mph. That immediately shoved us into the other lane of oncoming traffic... directly in the path of a power truck. The power truck hit my door at 50mph, crushing the entire side of the vehicle, and breaking almost everything on the right side of my body including my back. I became unresponsive at that moment. My sister who was driving was still conscious and could only sit and look at my bloody, lifeless body covered in glass.

Taking an Emotional Journey
All of us, for as long as we’re breathing, will go through the ups and the downs of life. We are supposed to feel emotions. We attach emotions to our thoughts. We give meaning to every experience by the thoughts and the emotions we attach to it.

How to Get Over Anything
I believe the key to getting over things isn't 'getting over' them at all. We believe we have healed when we no longer think about that ex, or that friend, or that job, or whatever it is that we think we've 'lost.' Here's my take on it!

My Journey from Hell to Hope
Once upon a time, I lived what seemed like an idyllic life. I was one of those people who went through their days thinking things only happened to other people. Oh, it was not without incident; my parents were divorced when I was very young and my grandfather passed away a few years later. My mother was a single, working mother, whose circle of friends were mostly divorced, so I did not feel the stigma of being a child of a broken home. I was shy, but had friends, did my homework, played baseball in the street and had a typical 50s childhood. Then, when I was 19, my father died, having been out of touch for years, and I was devastated. That was a difficult time, but wasn’t enough to deter my belief in the “other people” theory.

Being Unapologetically Beautiful
Growing up in Tanzania, I felt beautiful. Of course, people rarely tell you how beautiful you are because that isn’t (wasn’t when I was growing up) part of my culture. I grew up surrounded by people who mostly resembled me. Black, cornrowed or braided hair, good meat on the bone, because in my country having meat on your bones was an admirable trait, a sign of wealth and good fortune.

Becoming Vocal Again
The name Vocal flashed up on Facebook. It resonated deep within my soul. Following neck surgery a year earlier, I had struggled to talk, to swallow. To do all those simple, mechanical things that our body does so mindlessly, so efficiently that we totally underestimate the complex workings required to make these miracles occur
